Abstract:
It is no doubt that informed consent is the due right of voluntary blood donors, and valid disclosure is the obligatory duty of blood collection and supply agencies. Although various standards and guidelines on informed consent for blood donors were issued by many countries and international organizations, but the necessary and appropriate constituent elements for valid disclosure are not consistent. Moreover, the elements are evolving constantly and continuously with social changes. This paper discusses the current elements and gives practical suggestions of informed consent for blood donors at home and abroad.
